People and culture are fantastic, good commitment to training for junior engineers, tap into the broader Airbus resource networks, opportunities to work in Europe if that's your thing, generally accommodating of flexible work arrangements, not too much overtime.

Cons

Limited scope of engineering work - all the really good stuff for mechanical engineers is done in Europe. Doesn't mean you can't learn, but there are limits to what we are allowed to do. Pay is not really competitive with Boeing and the like but you won't starve.

The pay is on par with what the industry is paying.
I didn't have to work overtime alot.

Cons

High rate of turn over, and I wondered why when I started that most of the IT department was missing. They had their reasons. Here's why I didn't stay.
There is a toxic culture of workplace bullying which HR are aware of.
E.g. My manager comments about how he doesn't like religious people, particularly Baptists.
Never met a single person there that genuinely liked their job in IT.
You're treated like a resource, not a human, and are hassled when off sick.

No real career opportunities, hard to move out of position upwards, poor salary increase between grades. They prefer to employee outside departments with no knowledge, rather than promote someone with years of experience.

Company Updates

To support the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic our A330neo and A330 MRTT test aircraft have brought several millions of protective masks from China to Europe where they were donated to hospitals and public services. Airbus has also joined the UK ventilator challenge and will continue to support society wherever possible. We would like to thank all partners and helpers for their efforts to against the virus.
